The air oil separator has attracted increasing attention due to its size, rapid construction and high separation efficiency. This study investigated its gas–liquid two-phase flow and separation characteristics numerically and mechanical design of AOS by using PV-Elite software. A numerical model of two phase flow in the separator was proposed using the Multiphase analysis in ANSYS Fluent. The distribution of pressure, and velocity in the gas-phase flow field was obtained, and the oil droplet movement was traced. Separation efficiency was also studied and the diameter distributions of oil droplets at the inlet and the outlet of the separator were considered by a review of various researchers. The oil film distribution and flow pattern on the wall of the separator were visualized. The variation of oil–gas two-phase flow in the air oil separator was compared under various inlet flow rates. Based on the results, we are able to understand the design and analysis of AOS, and the performance of the separator was investigated numerically
